Globally, health systems are tasked with responding to contemporary challenges and the related disease burden and health needs of their population. This subject takes a systems approach to examine how health systems are designed, the key components, who pays, and how well the health system works to improve equity, quality, efficiency, and sustainability of health and social care for their populations. Critical thinking is emphasised as we examine if health systems are fit for purpose or resilient. The subject is designed in such a way that you will explore different health systems and consider the applicability to the Australian health system, thereby learning about the influence of context.
